navmesh baking ?

LOIC

before working with Godot, I used Unity. Godot is awesome! But some options is missing, like the ability to bake the navmesh. Without this option, we must create the mesh of the navemesh in a 3D software, that this is not practical if the level was done under godot.I've researched but without result, anyone know if an option for Godot help to bake the navmesh?Thank you very much :)

I'm looking for the same functionnality, I saw earlier this day that you can generate navmesh from code, and I found a commit dated from april of this year related to navmesh based on gridmap. But nothing to explain how to use navmesh.We just can hope that an answer will arrive soon ;-) .

Yes, this is exactly what a want too, generate a navmesh from gridmap ! Thanks for this information, now we just can hope inded :)

Either take a screenshot of your map and model a navimesh in another program, or use nodes for point-to-point navigation.

In my fps game I use a gridmap with navmesh. Once the tiles are properly set up, it works very well. I can create a map (alas very rectangular like) just like that.

@Gokudomatic, Can you explain your process ?

In my 3d editor (blender), I created all the tiles in one scene. Each tile has a child mesh, usually a quad when it's a ground, with the suffix -nav. I also make sure that the navmesh has exact coordinates, because blender tend to hide decimals and this prevents godot to make the navmesh properly. So my tiles are always with integer dimensions and I have a script that set each border vertex of my tiles to the exact border (4.0000000000001 becomes 4.0).

Once this is done, I export the scene to collada and I import it in Godot. Then I convert the scene in a tileset. And finally, in the main scene, I create a gridmap, assign it with the tileset, and I create a navmesh as a child (or parent, maybe. You have to test). And it's done.
